The process moves through medical care, the crash report, evidence, insurance talks, and, when needed, a lawsuit. Each stage matters, and some steps need to happen quickly. This guide walks through the FedEx truck accident claim process in Florida, one step at a time, so you know what to expect.<\/p>\n<h2>What a FedEx Truck Accident Claim Is and Who It Can Help<\/h2>\n<p>A FedEx truck accident claim seeks compensation from those responsible for a crash involving a FedEx truck or delivery van. Anyone hurt in that crash may have a claim, depending on what happened.<\/p>\n<p>A claim can be brought by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The injured driver or passenger in another vehicle<\/li>\n<li>A pedestrian or cyclist struck by a FedEx vehicle<\/li>\n<li>Family members when a crash causes a death<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Crashes can involve a small delivery van in a parking lot or a large truck on a highway. The same basic claim process applies to both.<\/p>\n<p>When a crash causes a death, Florida law allows a wrongful death claim. The right to bring it is set out in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.19.html\">Fla.

Florida claims often turn on negligence, which means failing to act the way a reasonably careful driver or company would act.<\/p>\n<p>Common causes that claims examine include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Driver fatigue.<\/strong> Federal rules limit driving time. See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-06\/title-49\/section-395.3\">49 C.F.R. \u00a7 395.3<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unsecured cargo.<\/strong> Cargo must be secured so it does not shift in a way that affects the vehicle&#8217;s stability or maneuverability. See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-06\/title-49\/section-393.100\">49 C.F.R. \u00a7 393.100<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Distracted driving and poor vehicle maintenance.<\/strong> These are reviewed based on the facts of each crash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Federal rules also say a motor carrier must require its drivers to follow the driver rules (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-06\/title-49\/section-390.11\">49 C.F.R. \u00a7 390.11<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Responsibility can be shared. Florida courts enter judgment against each liable party based on that party&#8217;s percentage of fault, not joint and several liability (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.81<\/a>). That is why a third party&#8217;s share can matter.<\/p>\n<p>A driver may work directly for FedEx or for a separate delivery business. Who employs the driver can change who is named in a claim.<\/p>\n<h2>Step by Step: From the Crash to a Resolved Claim<\/h2>\n<p>A FedEx truck accident claim usually moves through six stages: medical care, the crash report, evidence, the demand, negotiation, and, if needed, a lawsuit.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Get medical care and report the crash.<\/strong> Follow your doctors&#8217; care. Report the crash to police and collect names, photos, and witness details. Our guide on what to do right after a truck accident covers these first steps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get the crash report.<\/strong> Under Florida law, a long-form crash report must be submitted within 10 days after an investigation when someone is injured or complains of pain (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0300-0399\/0316\/Sections\/0316.066.html\">\u00a7 316.066<\/a>). The parties, their legal representatives, and their insurers may access it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preserve evidence.<\/strong> Ask early for driver logs, maintenance records, cargo records, and any dashcam or nearby camera footage. This material can be lost if no one requests it promptly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Document your losses.<\/strong> Medical records, bills, and wage records build the claim. Accident reconstruction professionals and medical professionals may review the facts.<\/li>\n<li>Settlement talks typically follow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>File a lawsuit if needed.<\/strong> The complaint is filed in the proper Florida court. Then comes discovery, the exchange of records and depositions, and possibly mediation, settlement, or trial.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Timelines vary. Severe injuries, several parties, and disputed fault all lengthen the process.<\/p>\n<h2>Florida Deadlines and Rules That Shape Your Claim<\/h2>\n<p>Florida sets legal deadlines for filing a lawsuit, and they appear in statute.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Filing deadlines.<\/strong> Florida sets time limits for lawsuits under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.11.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 95.11<\/a>. Wrongful death claims have their own time limit in the same statute.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shared fault.<\/strong> Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">\u00a7 768.81<\/a>, in a negligence action, a party found more than 50 percent at fault for their own harm may not recover any damages, but this does not apply to personal injury or wrongful death claims arising out of medical negligence under chapter 766. Partial fault can reduce what a person recovers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>PIP coverage.<\/strong> Florida auto policies must provide personal injury protection of $10,000 in medical and disability benefits and $5,000 in death benefits. Under Florida law, a motor vehicle insurance policy must provide personal injury protection (PIP) benefits, and the statute provides that eighty percent of all reasonable expenses for medically necessary medical, surgical, X-ray, dental, and rehabilitative services, including prosthetic devices and medically necessary ambulance, hospital, and nursing services, are covered if the individual receives initial services and care under the statute&#8217;s conditions within 14 days after the motor vehicle accident (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0627\/Sections\/0627.736.html\">\u00a7 627.736<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The 14-day window matters. Getting checked early also protects your health, so follow your doctors&#8217; care.<\/p>\n<h2>What Compensation May Cover and What Affects the Amount<\/h2>\n<p>Compensation can cover money losses and the harm that bills don&#8217;t capture. No typical FedEx payout applies to every case.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Economic damages.<\/strong> These include past and future medical bills, lost income, and other money losses caused by the injury (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">\u00a7 768.81<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Non-economic harm.<\/strong> This can include pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrongful death.<\/strong> Florida law lets survivors seek lost support and services, a surviving spouse&#8217;s loss of companionship, and minor children&#8217;s loss of parental guidance. A survivor who paid medical or funeral costs may also recover them (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.21.html\">\u00a7 768.21<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Several factors shape value: how severe and lasting the injury is, the strength of medical evidence, insurance limits, how clear fault is, and any comparative fault (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.81(6)<\/a>).
